Economic Development
The Arkadelphia Alliance is committed to the economic growth of Arkadelphia and Clark County. From attracting new business, expanding existing business, starting and growing our own entrepreneurial pursuits, and supporting our business owners, we are invested in our employers and the future of our community. Advantages of doing business in Arkadelphia are plentiful and begin with our strategic location on Interstate 30, access to Union Pacific's mainline rail system, and a thriving municipal airport just minutes away from downtown Arkadelphia and our industrial park.
Our two universities, Henderson State University and Ouachita Baptist University, help provide access to a talented, educated workforce ready to support a variety of industries, and the area's low cost of living, business-friendly environment, and abundant natural resources create a perfect climate for innovation and expansion. Whether you're starting a new venture or relocating an established enterprise, Arkadelphia is a smart choice for sustainable growth.
